Details

GDC was founded in 2011 by Israeli-Dutch choreographer Sagi Gross and multidisciplinary artist Jeroen Fransen, and brings together former dancers of Nederlands Dans Theater, Royal Danish Ballet and others. The choreography uses high-voltage physicality which exposes the interest in gesture to examine the performer's acceptance or resistance. Silent Force consists of two creations: a solo, My Song, and a duet, Silent Force. My Song is a solo created especially for Shirley Esseboom (Golden Swan winner in 2009). Gross focuses on Esseboom's driven source and inevitable development as a mature dance artist. The constant physical growth of a dancer's body and what does it mean to become a mother? Shirley was a leading dancer for Nederlands Dans Theater for fifteen years, where she interpreted choreographies of Jiri Kylian, Hans van Manen, Lightfoot/Leon and others. Attraction and strength measuring are central in Silent Force. The two dancers, Lauri Kee Schep and Christian Guerematchi, are in the same room without knowing of each other's existence. They move around each other like planets in the galaxy and the space in which they are trying to understand and organize. Between them a game, an invisible manipulative force, unattainable attraction and a confrontation with each other's existence.
